1791- Michael Faraday was born to a poor family in England1804- At Age 13, he was an errand boy for a bookbinding shop in England1831- Began a great series of experiments, which led to the discovery electromagnet induction1832- Proved that electricity produced from a magnet, voltaic electricity from a battery, and static electricity were ALL THE SAME!
DID YOU KNOW?? When Faraday was working at the book binding store in England, he read every book that he bound! Coming to the conclusion that he would write a book when he grew up. Michael Faraday Michael Faraday is one of the greatest experimental physicists! He is known as The Father of The Electric Motor, The Electric Transformer, The Electrical Generator, and Electrolysis!
image of Michael Faraday and his accomplishments
Faraday wrote the "Law of Induction" and known for the "Faraday Effect"
TWO scientific units were named after him, one for capacitance (farad) and one for charge (faraday)
